Post up a vid of the noise...is it tranny? Happen when moving or still? I am interested, but very far away for such little info!

Hey man. Sounds like it IS the vanos. If you dm me your number I'll send you the video. The car still is running and driving but I am NOT driving it. It will stay parked until either someone picks it up or I fix it. If I fix it I will raise the price to accomodate my loss in repair.

You know if you fix the vanos seals and clean your car up you can probably get 15-16k for it...

I'm aware but honestly I would rather let someone take my car and leave me with enough for another car that i have found. The past year with the car has left a spoiled taste for me and honestly would rather sell it for cheap and let someone else who will enjoy it at this point take it, over me making more money.
